There is actually an easy solution to the problem. Takes a bit more work, but is a very viable solution.

It does take a bit more work but there is still a very viable solution that I don't think Paypal will change.

uh, that's what I just said...

Yeah I hadn't been on the fourm in awhile and I tried the 21 day trick today that
had been working for me and it didn't work anymore that sucks I figured it was only a matter of time before they figured it out. I think I know the other trick but I am afraid of locking up my account I've had it up and running for almost a year. Just staying
under the raidar and only selling a few things a week and it's working so far keep my fingers crossed. The other day I just let one of my hold get realeased on it's own because I didn't want to raise to many flag with the method that was working and it took about 5 days after the item was delivered to release the hold. I guess we will just have to play by there rules if we want to keep our accounts open I just hope I don't get screwed out of the money luckly most of the things I sell are worth $50 or less if I do lose out.

So all my posts keep getting deleted... everyone here is so helpful:faint:

its obviously too much info

I dont see big deal crying over the trick its gone so is Kojak, deal with it.

If you dont want to wait for a hold, add tracking , call them bother them and it will probably be released a bit sooner (day 20!)

Paypal only holds Ebay transactions correct? I've sold some things using other means before and never experienced a hold on those regardless of the amount.

Yes, Only ebay transactions have the 21 day hold.

Guys, just play by the rules. Find ways to build up your DSR ratings and your paypal holds will eventually disappear! I have 2 accounts that no long get any holds whatsoever. Working on 4. :)

paypal limits out of ebay transactions. No Get Home Free card.:pout:

lakeman just said the opposite a few posts ago.

Read what I wrote: paypal might & does LIMIT out of ebay transactions. It is not a tale.:pout: Hope there are none of you thinking that doing everything off ebay:eek:

On a new account I created I sold an item. Out of the 10 I sold that being the most expensive was held. I shipped it Priority got a feedback and within a week the money was released. This done without my prompting them.

I think its important when creating an account to sell not real expensive things and ship real fast and use Priority or another fast shipping method with tracking.

At least in the beginning.

If you start right out selling high ticket items, they wonder who the hell is this guy selling expensive stuff right away. Even selling 50$ items may cause an issue.

I would stick to under 10$ items. Even if you have to go to Walmart and buy from their 5$ DVD bin and list those up and even lose some coin, I think that would be a good way to start off.
